Beach Read by Emily Henry
4.5

This was definitely Henry at her best so far. This was a great book; an easy contender among some great romance books. But I don’t think it’s entirely worth the crazy amount of hype it has. While I feel very satisfied with the romance, almost every other part of this just wasn’t quite fleshed out enough for me. I’m hoping there’s growth in this area in the next books because this wasn’t the first of Henry where I felt this way. 

I understand where the banter hype comes from now though. And the chemistry between characters that she had been doing well all along is just insanely amplified.

A very solid 4.5 that should almost be a 5 down to a 4.5 (comparatively speaking).
